I think this has been done before, but I can't find it
Does anyone know of any bars with a similar sweep to the Marys, but getting up towards 700mm width?
Many thanks

Salsa woodchippers or Ragley Luxys. Maybe.

The latter are discontinued so good luck needed on eBay / classifieds.

Salsa Bend 2 17 or 23 degree

I started with Mary bars as my first high back sweep bar but wanted something wider so went with the salsa bend 2. I have both sizes of back sweep and although I don't really notice much difference I would probably go with the 17 degree if I needed another pair.

EDIT: BTW they are 710mm

'carnegies' are being re-made I think as an OnOne bar, there's also the bar specced on the new Genesis adventure-29er bike, 700mm with 25-30 deg sweep, looks good. Jones Bend bars are like H-bars but 1-pc, ££ tho.

I heard a whisper abour a new On-One bendy bar too ... hadn't realised it was a Carnegie though, not that it's a bad thing.

The On One OG bar should be landing towards the end of this month, there's a Carbon one which looks the business at £80 and an Alu for around £30. They are just under 700 wide and have a good backward sweep on them. I've been riding the Alu ones for about 4 months and they are very comfy.
STOP PRESS.. The Alu ones came in yesterday and should be on sale very soon. They're £24.99, fill yer boots.

I run Carnegies on the Hemlock and Marys on the commuter, hoping the new On-One OG will have a fair bit of rise as well as sweep... can you comment?

Dimensions should be posted on the On One website very soon, I run mine on a Van Nic Redwood 29er and they feel fine.

As a 26er riding luddite... I want RISE with my sweep, dammit!

Those new On-One bars aren't much, if any, wider than Marys though, are they?

Got a set of Carnegie's knocking round the garage which I don't use anymore. Didn't use them much as shortly afterwards I discovered the wonders of Jones bars. I think they come in at 700mm. Drop me a PM if your interested

Just had a case of 'what the mind sees, the eyes create'! Read this thread as Like MARS bars only WILDER?

Ignore me, I had my bars confused. I was thinking of Midges

But they don't go forward before sweeping back like Carnigies, Mary's or H bars.
Shame.

Yes they do:

25° backsweep, 6° upsweep
38mm rise, 33mm forward offset

They're about the same as the Carnegies I've got here, at any rate.

Unless my eyes deceive me.....

Not mine, but there's some luxy's just gone on singletrack:

I take it back, I didn't see the pictures of the bend on my phone.

Ta for the heads up, have wanted to try some for a while.

Will see if they've gone yet. Bit like hens teeth.
